TraceView Configuration Chapter 13, Configuring Xgig TraceView
Xgig Analyzer User’s Guide 229
All columns, colors, searches, finds, and groups are loaded with the configuration. When a
configuration is loaded, the current port selection is not affected.
Loading a Configuration
1 Select Load Configuration from the File menu. Select a default configuration or select
Custom Configuration..
. For the default configurations, a single column is used to designate
the ports except in Default Ports Side-by-Side . For information on Ports Side-by-Side, see
“Ports Side-by-Side Configuration” on page 229 .
2 If you select a default configuration, the selected configuration is applied. If you select
Custom Configuration..
., the
Open
dialog box appears.
3 Use the dialog box to navigate to the folder containing the configuration file. Configuration
can be stored in any location, but are typically stored in the same directory as the trace.
4 Select the Xgig TraceView configuration file and press OK . TraceView will display only one
view loaded with the selected configuration.
Initial Configuration Applied When Opening a Trace
If no last-used configuration is saved, then a default configuration corresponding to the physical
protocol is loaded. If the last-used configuration is for the same protocol as that of the trace being
opened, this configuration is used. Otherwise, the default configuration corresponding to the
protocol of the trace is loaded.
Ports Side-by-Side Configuration
TraceView can display a multiple-port trace with a separate column in the display for each
individual port. This allows easy identification of which port is associated with each decoded
event. The column with the summary information for each port is titled by the name given to the
port. Select this option from the
File > Load Configuration > Default Ports Side-by-Side
.
For the Ports Side-by-Side configuration, an EOF in a trace is shown as a unique event in the
spreadsheet. The spreadsheet view must have ordered sets shown for EOFs to display as separate
events.
For the
Ports Side-by-Side
configuration, you can quickly display all port columns in
equal-width columns. Select Autofit All Port Columns in View from the View menu. Information
will wrap in the column if it will not fit in the column width for the port.
An example of using side-by-side port view is shown below. Summary information for Channel
1-A is shown in column Channel 1-A and summary information for Channel 1-B is shown in
column Channel 1-B.
